UK headquartered Aquapak has developed a polymer called Hydropol, which is designed to have all the key functional properties required for packaging while increasing recycling and reducing plastic pollution polymer.
Based on polyvinylalcohol (PVOH), the product is biodegradable and compostable, non-toxic to the environment and marine-safe.
The product is designed to be capable of replacing ethylene vinyl alcohol (EVOH) in many applications. When extrusion coated or laminated onto paper, it adds strength and barriers to oxygen, oil and grease, and its solubility allows 100% paper fibre recovery through paper recycling mills.
Suitable for a range of products, including packaging for dried pet food, snacks, cooked meat and convenience food, the product is being showcased at the K Show event in Germany during October 2022.
